<H1>API for ISO Schematron Skeleton</H1>
<H2><BR><BR>
</H2>
<P>Rick Jelliffe, 2010/04/14</P>
<P>This document provides documentation on the XSLT API available in
the implementation of Schematron called <TT>iso_schematron_skeleton.xsl</TT>.
(available in an XSLT1 and XSLT2 version). The API makes available as
much information from the schema, however there may be some edge
cases where it is not exhaustive.   
</P>
<P>The <I>skeleton</I> is an XSLT script which provides all the basic
parsing and validating routines for compiling a Schematron schema
into XSLT. Schematron was designed to allow many different uses, and
the skeleton gives you a headstart in creating a customized
implementation. You just need to write XSLT templates to override the
default ones. (The program you write is sometimes called a
<I>meta-stylesheet</I>.)   It is the meta-stylesheet that is called
as the XSLT script, not the skeleton. There are several
pre-processing stages which the Schematron schema should be processed
through first, to handle such things as include statements and
abstract patterns. 
</P>
<P>Phases and error reporting for problems in the schema itself are
handled by the skeleton with no interaction with a &ldquo;meta-stylesheet&rdquo;.
Note that there is no guarantee that the context node is always the
element being handled: in most cases the only information available
is the information in the parameters. 
</P>
<P>For an introductory tutorial on using this API, see Bob DuCharme's
<A HREF="http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/10/05/tr.html">Schematron 1.5:
Looking Under the Hood</A> 
</P>
<H1>Superset of API for Schematron 1.5 and 1.6</H1>
<P>(This is an updated version of the API for the Schematron 1.5
implementation called <TT>skeleton1-5.xsl</TT>, which in turn comes
from the <I>new architecture</I> contributed by Oliver Becker for
Schematron 1.3.)</P>
<P>The current API contains only additions. Well-written
meta-stylesheets that use the new API will be be able to run on the
existing 1.5 and 1.6 skeletons. Similarly, it should be possible to
upgrade the skeleton from 1.5 or 1.6 to the iso-schematron-skeleton
only by correcting the import statement at the beginning of the
meta-stylsheet. Additions or re-groupings from the 1.5 schema are
shown in red. Deletions have overstrike.</P>
<P>Mooted addition: a parameter @action  which for specifying
processing instructions on assertions and reports.</P>
<HR>
<H2><TT>process-prolog</TT></H2>
<P>The <TT>process-prolog</TT> template gets called at the start of
the validation session. It has no parameters. The default
implementation is no action.</P>
<HR>
<H2><TT>process-root</TT></H2>
<P>The <TT>process-root</TT> template processes the root element of
the schema (which is not the same thing as the root of the document /
and need not be the document element /*) .</P>

<H1>Global Parameters</H1>
<P>There are several global parameters that may be available for use.
However, it is not a requirement to follow these, and implementations
may not supply them with any value. So a test of
string-length(<I>variable</I><SPAN STYLE="font-style: normal">) &lt;
0 is appropriate in each case.</SPAN></P>
